Random Rants : Bloody hell!

[Joecoolyo]

That's how I am around big groups of people I barely know, too, although I at least haven't been around big groups of racist people I barely know.

I spent New Years the same way I always do: screwing around at home on the interwebs.

At least I'm not alone then. It just seems like a big hindrance to meeting new people. It's hard when everyone else knows each other and has their go to conversations that I don't have access to.

If they're a bunch of druggie-racists then ditch them already. Say to your friend/roommate that he's OK but you don't like his friends that much (politely, of course, maybe bring up the fact that you don't/‘don''t’ like marihuana) and then the problem's solved.

Yeah I think this has to be the route. Ok hanging out with him, his friends are a stretch too far though.

As with above though, it really puts a damper on that whole "meeting new people" thing.

Speaking for myself I was like that for a long time, but forcing myself to get in the mix and generally say "no" less often I found myself to actually be quite sociable and friendly and I ended up having a much better time.

I'm not saying you should force yourself to do things you hate, but if you want to be a part of the party you're going to have to stop moping and go see what life has to offer you.

Also yeah if friends are [REDACTED]backs and bring down your emotional state then they aren't really doing anything for you as friends. Cut them loose.

Internet stopped for 2 days.

Awful.

BBC News website has been under attack for days now.

Works for me now.

I have realised that my ego is a farce

Nah, you're OK.

Ask the people you know to introduce you to others.

Go to places with more people so you aren't stuck with just the one group of insufferable people.

But you have survived. Kudos, sir.

(I think this has to do with the fact that Fallout can be played offline, but I might be wrong. Otherwise, rakija for all!)

 

[gay_Aleks]

Well, a healthy mix of Fallout 2, Arcanum and Blue Oyster Cult.

Speaking of the last, in relation to the unfortunate events that happened to me, January will be Blue Oyster Cult appreciation month! Praise be, for that this is one of the reasons I didn't totally flip out.

You should get physical copies of all Epizod CDs for the future.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Nah. I'd sell my soul for a physical copy of A Matter of Life and Death. This or Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. I would have asked Santa for that, but, well, I got a Kindle instead!

 

[Takhisis]

Your soul, eh? Well, Epizod should be cheaper (and more patriotic) in Bulgaria than Iron Maiden, but if you like…

 

[gay_Aleks]

Patriotism has turned into a word empty of any reason whatsoever here, so I don't see the point.

 

[Tee Kay]

Lost my good earphones.

If it was a case of me leaving it on the train or whatever I could understand but in this case I literally have it in my hand in one moment and the next I don't have it anymore. There's only a few places that it could possibly be and I've repeatedly searched all of them. It just disappeared into thin air as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Takhisis]

Oh, a month or two ago, I had enormous trouble finding something I had in my hand and which I was about to put into a drawer. I turned the place upside down before deciding to check the drawer, where the object I was looking for was waiting for me and would have had a smug look on its face if it had one. It happens to everyone once in a while.

Being declined for a job despite without a reason why despite having all the relevant experience and criteria.

How could I not get a job at a fish and chip shop???

Must have been the halitosis

 

[gay_Aleks]

Well, snow came, people! now can we stop complaining

My breath doesnt have any problems.

You've probably gotten used to smelling your own rotted teeth.

Smashed my hand today while trying to fix the ceiling vent in our apartment. I know I probably should have called maintenance for it, but it was an easy job so I decided to just do it myself. Well, Murphy's Law decided it wanted to make my day a little more interesting and turned that easy job into a possible fractured hand that hurts like the dickens.

Sounds like your great expectations got a bit twisted, hmm?

Well at the time it seemed a very fine, new and grotesque idea.

I saw about 10 seconds of snow in Raleigh today. It left me wet and hungry for more.
